Bringing local stories to life
For over 30 years, Theatre Kimberley has created high-quality arts opportunities with and for Kimberley communities. We connect local people with local and visiting professional artists and arts organisations.
Dragonfly Outreach - Beagle Bay July - August 2025
In July and August, we returned to Beagle Bay Aboriginal Community for our annual three-week residency at Sacred Heart School, our seventh consecutive year! Returning project artists, Will Tredinnick and Chelsea Quaill, Flying Fruit Fly Circus graduate, were joined by former Sandfly, Crystal Stacey.

The finale week saw additional support from SAE University College student, Indianna Hynam, and Sandfly Circus trainee trainers, Evie Meaney and Aella Westlake. Indianna documented the project as part of her final university placement while Year 9 students, Evie and Aella, joined to provide more trainer support for the finale show. Once again, Sacred Heart kids produced a high energy performance to the cheers and laughter of the Beagle Bay community.
Alongside the circus mayhem, TK was pleased to welcome Jens Altheimer back from Melbourne and support his concurrent film project, Stories in Motion. Nearly 15 years ago, Jens directed two Sandfly shows and several outreach projects on the Dampier Peninsula. TK connected Jens with Sacred Heart School as the project aligned well with students’ circus tuition. A screening of Stories in Motion was included at our circus show evening. The film was a great opener for the night, with the comedic use of greenscreen and student-directed interviews leaving audiences in stitches.
